TikTok / Instagram Reels For Musicians (Content Strategies)

You’ve probably heard many music marketers tell you “Get on TikTok before it's too late” or “make content because that’s going to help you grow”, but none of them tell you the kind of content to make. Just like you, I’m a musician with a burning desire to share my music with the world. However, the world isn’t just going to listen to my music just because I’ve made it. You need to have a strategy in place to get people aware of your music in the first place. This is where content comes in. Content comes in all types of mediums on all types of platforms, but today we’re going to be focusing on TikTok and Instagram reels.

[@d3vinity]

I would love editing tutorials to make it more entertainment, cutting, overlaying pics and text etc

[@swxbo]

Could tell me wat u use to set a little clip of your song so others can use di audio???

[@kahsanmusic]

First off, I love ur music! Question, I’m an artist and I want to post videos of me singing my songs, when u edit, do u add ur song in the edit? Or for example lip sync your song and attach the actual song from TikTok/Reels? My apologies if this is a dumb question. I’m new.

[@Lightswords]

Good video… Likes Subscribed 🤟🏾

[@laikhel1388]

Do u guys mix and record the music before shooting the videos? Or use live music? What should I do? Since I rap.

[@davidstillsonmusic]

When you released your music monthly, were you doing a single on Spotify for every release? or did you wait to have a collection of songs and post monthly?

[@Presraps]

I'm totally using dropping once a month as a hook, I'm really just your clone at this point😂

[@LauraShoopOfficial]

What program do you use to edit your TikToks?

[@_saumya.music_]

which app do you use for editing reels?

[@vigorxus]

I think this is dope. Idk why this only got below 1K views :D

[@boyvirus_]

Check again

[@conjarson]

Yee

[@codyperkinsmusic]

Great video man.. you really broke it down well and made it easy to understand!! When you're releasing a song every month, are you getting them mastered? I'm planning on doing this this year but I'm wondering how people afford to get a song mastered every month, or if getting them mastered isn't a super high priority in the beginning?

[@DASHBOARD17]

If you need i can mix a song for only 5 bucks no extra stuff

[@meekd2444]

​@@DASHBOARD17you still offering that? How I contact you?

[@treboogiee]

What should i edit on bro

[@SaiintPat]

Let’s work bro

[@ChichoXMalo]

Let me get that template

[@rodverse]

Hi can u put my songs on your playlist

[@тими]

Good quality content, but i don’t get your opinion. Gl 👋🏻

[@lifestyleszn]

Watchtime:Keep your contents short and direct First three seconds should be mind-blowing Reengage your audience (add other contents like pictures and text to your videos) Post a live video of you singing to your video. Make a video of a breakdown of your song Be consistent with putting up contents. Be mindful of the content you creating You can incorporate comedy into your content but be watchful to it. Stay consistent. If you stick to your routine Keep it simple

[@ItsStephAceves]

Adriel! This video was AWESOME! thank you so much for sharing your knowledge - I've been doing a ton of internet research on making money as a musician and your vid was so helpful! I'm the CEO of a software company that helps musicians book live gigs where the audience wants to connect with the musician, where the audience values your gift and perspective as a true artist. It’s about monetizing on your passion & skipping the phase of booking rinse & repeat soul-crushing gigs you only play to make ends meet. Would love to connect and set up a time to meet virtually for coffee if youre up for it! LMK!

[@Dtachedkid]

Wasn’t many content strategies… just saying

[@onlythesiah]

That part falls on you. Take what he said. Utilize it. And grind your ass off. Because it’s not gonna come to you for free.

[@jakobbourne6381]

Views and following are surface gains when telling marketability and potential, metrics such as engagement rate tell more, and appraising such is easily doable w/ tools that are free to use such as *phlanx's tiktok engagement rate calculator*

[@lildirtdick777]

good video but it’s another video with almost no real world examples
